Fructose post workout

[NewVader]

On one hand fructose has low glycemic index so it shouldnt cause insulin spike and fat storage. Do you think it harms if used post workout (unsweetened orange juice or fruit) when cutting?

[MFT81]

guess it depends on which side of the Hi GI PWO fence you ride on

Id say no just because fructose tends to store in the liver not muscle
(Wonder what type of shite this statement will stur up?)

Fruit juice is garbage, the pasturing process depletes the vitamins, and it is dead. Fresh live fruit is awesome for your health, good live enzymes and vitamins. Your body absorbs more vitamins from natural sources than a pill

A banana blended with your shake is good pwo.

Fruit is gods gift to us for energy and vitamins, how can you say bad things about fruit.

Excessive eating of fruit is not good. Keep in moderation.

The best time I believe to eat fruit is before workout, I found bananas to supply great energy during workout.

PWO it really won't have much of an effect. a banana is a good idea just because of how beneficial they are. i only eat them before or after a workout though. but in regards to fructose it will mainly help refill any lost liver glycogen first. and don't worry about insulin unless you are injecting. PWO and PREWO it won't matter.

Uhh that's the reason you take in sugar post-workout is to cause an insulin spike to increase absorption of protein and carbohydrates into the muscles. Postworkout is about the only time that it's cool to have an insulin spike.

After cardio or lifting? There's no reason for an insulin spike unless it's immediately following a lifting workout.

Intuitively I would say that after fasting overnight, an insulin spike could be beneficial.

Why would it be beneficial?

Why would it be beneficial?

to stop the fasting or muscle wastage.

If you say so...

Hes right. It isnt a bad at idea at all to have insulin a bit higher in the morning. In fact many people follow the protocol of usin slin injections in the morning for bodybuilding purposes.

I got it from Chris Aceto. i guess he made it up though .
